What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Moygara is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a raised circular area on a ridge in the Curlew Mountains, enclosed by a ruinous stone wall where most stones have been removed. A section along the south arc retains internal and external stone facing with a rubble core, while a narrow drystone wall replaces the original cashel elsewhere. The entrance is at the south, and the uneven interior rises towards the centre.

On a ridge, in the Curlew Mountains. A raised circular area (35m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by a ruinous stone wall from which most of the stones have been robbed. A section of wall (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.3m) with internal and external stone facing and a rubble core, is evident along the S arc and may be original. Elsewhere the cashel wall is replaced by a narrow drystone wall which follows the edge of the raised area in places and elsewhere skirts it internally. The entrance (Wth 0.9m) is at S. The interior is uneven and rises towards the centre. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
